  Re: The Yamato
 
(...) IIRC one of the defining things about Star Blazers is that the spaceships in the story actually ARE modern day naval ships (or reasonable facsimiles), made spaceworthy and lanuched. But I could be wrong. (URL) that helps. (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: The Yamato
 
(...) Yeah I just got done reading some stuff from a web search, thanks for the link though. It actually is the Yamato from WWII repaired and upgraded as a space ship. Interesting. Also the model that started this thread would be about mini-fig (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: The Yamato
 
(...) At the peril of being seen as argumentative, that is not correct. In order to be minifig- scale, it would have to be between 27 and 30 *feet* in length, perhaps a touch longer. _Takao_ was 13'0" in length, and was still "compressed" by about (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well, maybe some people will get all argumentative over it, but I welcome corrections when people have more info than I do. (...) I guess it looked bigger than that to me at first. (...) LOL. (...) Thanks. -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

Modern minds can come up with three questions. Peasant (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: The Yamato
 
(...) Impressive statistics...but if a model looses its "swooshability" around 2-3 feet in length, I would imagine that much over 6-8 feet it looses some of it's "minature coolness". Thats just my thoughts...If he can stick in a few minifigs, it (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: The Yamato
 
(...) Awww, shucks. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you or any of the other Faraway Visitors™ who came--believe me, if there had been any way I could have done it, I would have. But in the event, the Fulbright kinda precluded it. It's the one really (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Although I wish you nothing but scholastic success Lindsay, I must admit that is would be almost worth it to see the fleet (and it's shipwright) one year earlier. ;) Cheers & best of luck, -Gil (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.space)
